Academic Work
Before placing an order for a new computer, please check with your
department's computing support office or the Student
Computing Help Desk. They can help you determine the system that is
best suited to your needs. For faculty and students who want to use a
Macintosh computer for general academic work, Computing Services recommends the
Apple Mac Pro or Apple MacBook Pro.
Administrative Users
Before placing an order for a new computer, please check with your
department's computing support person. Many administrative departments
have enrolled in the Hardware and Software Standards Program. This program
provides new Dell computers running the Windows operating system to staff on a
regular basis. If your work requires the use of an Apple computer, please
contact your department's
computing support office before making a purchase. They can assist you
in determining the appropriate computer to meet your business needs.
For staff who want to use a Macintosh computer for general administrative
work, Computing Services recommends the Apple Mac Pro or
Apple MacBook Pro. These recommendations are suitable for the
overwhelming majority of people at Dartmouth. However, your requirements may
vary depending on the nature of your work. If you need help determining the
appropriate computer that will meet all your needs, please contact the pre-sales
